How do ya clean Dura Ace shifters?
      11/12/04 06:57 PM (12.145.80.72)

Hey!

I just bought a nice Litespeed Palmares with full Dura Ace (2001, non-STI). The bike and components are in excellent condition except the shifters sound gritty...sorta like there's a little dirt/sand in there.

Question 1): Are the shifters easy to clean? Like, can they be soaked or submurged in degreaser, re-lubed, etc.?

Question 2): Call me a tool, but how do you get the shifters loosened from the handlebars. My Campy's have an easily visible and accessible allen wrench access point.

Thanks in advance for your help!
